White Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake

This is honestly the best cake I have ever tasted. We had it at my niece's baby blessing, and I couldn't stop eating it! Thank you Chris for getting the recipe for us!

Pre-heat oven 350 degrees

Mix white cake mix as directed

Add 1/2 cup applesauce (no cinnamon)

A 1 package of vanilla pudding

Mix batter well: remove 1/3 of the batter and place in separate bowl.

Defrost 1/2 cup (I always use a little more) frozen raspberries and mash them up. Add 1 Tbsp flour and mix. Add berries to 1/3 batter and set aside.

With remaining 2/3 batter add 1/2 cup (I always do more here too) melted white chocolate.

Grease bundt cake pan (I use "Bakers Joy") and then coat bottom of pan with 1/2 of the white chocolate/cake batter mix.

Then add dollops of raspberry/cake batter mix to the chocolate in the pan.

Then add the remaining white chocolate cake/batter mix to the pan.

Make and S pattern through the batter using a skewer or handle of a wooden spoon. Be careful not to touch the bottom of the pan.

Bake 42-45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a bit, then turn the cake out onto cooling rack. After it is cool, I triple wrap it in saran wrap and pt it in the freezer. I like them frozen for 5-7 days before serving...but it's not necessary.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1 stick softened butter (1/2 cup)
1 brick softened cream cheese (8 oz)
Mix butter and and cream cheese until soft, add 2 tsp vanilla, beat until light and fluffy.

Add 4-5 cups powder sugar, one cup at a time, (I use 4 1/2 cups). Beat until smooth.

Put it in the fridge and let set an hour before frosting "defrosted" cake.

Natalie's Caramel Popcorn

1 cup butter (2 cubes)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup

Melt butter over medium heat on stove top. Add all other ingredients when butter is melted completely. Stir constantly until all sugar is dissolved. When mixture begins to boil rapidly (not just around the edges, but completely through mixture) stir and cook 30 more seconds and then remove from heat. Do NOT over cook. The caramel will not be soft if you cook too long.

Pour over 3 (can do 4 but I like mine to be heavily coated) bags of "butter" flavor popcorn. (not movie theater butter, or extra butter, just plain "butter" flavored.

Stir until all pieces are coated evenly. Enjoy! Wait to cool down before eating!
